Metal

Graeme2 
Don't know about metal. Just what I've heard and like. I like air guitar and air drums. I try to have an open mind and realise not to make a big hate on metal just cos they look shit because prejudice is a shower. I've only gone as far back as the start of the 80s. The chart is mostly thrash sounds with prog/tech leanings, NWOBHM or stuff with post rock influence.

This is great man. It's much more 80s and thrash than what my metal chart will look like one day (hopefully), but there's so many great picks.

Cheers ben4. I've recently picked up that last Vektor one on vinyl after playing it loads on spotify, a masterpiece. It needs more recognition.

Great list, especially for someone who claims to not know much about metal. Rust in Peace is awesome. I'm getting into Vektor recently, glad to see someone else appreciates it.
